iPad 2 display, vibrating motor appear on parts supplier’s site

A source that has proven reliable in the past outs new components that will allegedly be part of Apple’s upcoming next-generation iPad. GlobalDirectParts, consumer electronics parts supplier and source of the Verizon iPhone parts video that ended up being the real deal, has added two interesting new items to its website. The first is an “OEM Apple iPad 2 LCD screen,” which rings up at $218.19 compared to the current-generation iPad’s display which cost $144.99 from the supplier when it first became available. This further supports rumors that Apple’s next iPad will have a high resolution display. The second component of interest is a $9.99 “OEM Apple iPad vibrating motor,” which would be a completely new addition to the iPad 2 considering the current iPad does not include a vibrate function.

Please Apple just show the new iPad already for these tech pundits rumors can shutup about it already

Who cares. The iPad 2 is DOA anyway. This is what should have been released a year ago to make it comparable to the iPods and iPhones that were released at that time. They give us this now? Anyone who bought the iPad 1 was scammed. Complete garbage. iPad sucks!

I still have a hard time believing the claims of a 2048×1536 resolution. As many posters have mentioned, such a display has yet to be shown in the mobile space, especially at cost that would keep the iPad a reasonable price point. Even if Apple had all the cash in the world, the manufacturer in question still has to develop a prototype from which it can then expand into mass production. This, if anything, takes time such that the ipad doesn’t retail for $2000+ on account of the screen.

No worries, people WILL GLADLY PAY MORE for the newer improved iPad 2, make no mistake about this. We are NOT talking PCs here people, Apple does not make junk !!!

John Peters

Actually everything Apple makes is junk. Do you konw anyone who works at an Apple store or returns facility? Do you know how much retruns they get? The numbers are insane. But they can afford to replace product because it’s all made in China at a very cheap price. Look at the MacBooks – double the price of a PC and internally, it’s a PC. Apple scams people and you’re obviously one of those who are scammed.

Bet you will be able to use the new ipad as a phone, speaker or headset. Either that or its something of a haptic feedback.

Joe

iPad as phone, eh?
Imagine what a fool you’d look like carrying that around and talking into it.

Booboolala2000

What if you are in your living room on your maxi part and, blonk you have an incoming call, not douchebagging it areound. Also, you could use blue tooth headset while this is in your man purse. Think before responding.

Booboolala2000

Sorry about the typos. On the shitter. Lol

Joe

If the vibrating were to be a phone functionality (and I never said it wouldn’t), you can be sure that people will be walking around with it and look like fools. That’s even less far fetched than the situations you describe.

I hope that you were not using your iPad there!

I’m glad crApple has decided to finally add a vibrating motor to their iProducts. Now all of the iSheep can just use a gesture to turn on vibrating which makes placement in rectum easier rather the old manual way they had to use crApple’s iJunk to worship in their iCult. DROID DOES!

Dan

ur momma does

Vibration – FaceTime. Obviously.
Retina Screen – I believe it. The dpi on the iPad is lacking compared to the iPhone. Also, apple doesn’t accidentally do anything. The @2x images from iBooks are proof enough for me. At first I didn’t think it’d be getting a bump because that’s a lot of pixels, but now I’m positive… Anybody wanna buy my gen 1 iPad? Lol.

Len

Probably gonna see a lot of iPads going on sale soon. Better get rid of that crap soon.. it’s obsolete.

John Peters

You are an example that proves the iPad is DOA.

It is very likely that the screen resolution will not be 2x of the current iPad. That would be completely unnecessary for any current Hi Res Video and pretty costly to make. Not to mention the power drain!

Makes sense that the next gen iPads will increase in price. It’s just not the Apple way to have them be in the same price bracket as the competition.

Michael Scrip

I can’t see them raising the price. $499 is a killer starting price… especially since no one else has been able to make a decent tablet below $499…

However… with a screen that expensive… something’s gotta give. Apple is already comfortable with 50% margins on every iPad now.

I guess we’ll wait and see. How much of a discount do they get if they place an order for 18 million of those screens???

Man… it would be great to be an Apple supplier! They order tons of components… and their checks always clear!

Scott

This changes everything? Again!

John Peters

More garbage from Apple. Come on iSheep, buy some more iCrap.

I had a feeling that once the Verizon iphone rumors were finally over it would be the trigger for endless Ipad 2 rumors. I admit I love it and may pick an Ipad up this time around. Sounds like a big jump in specs if all the rumors are to be believed.

Wow Apple a vibrator motor! way to jam the cutting edge technology in!

Exactly correct friendo !
No tablet has ever had this advanced component only a company like Apple could even think of such and awesome feature. This will be mind-blowing and open up an entire new world in the App Store.

HAHAHAHA That was a funny one. Thanks for that.

Haptic feedback?

Considering that the current iPad is truly a magical device that sells for an extremely low low price given its undisputed leadership position as the most advanced handheld computing device on the planet nobody will think twice about purchasing the 2 at a higher price, however I believe sales volume will be astronomical so due to economies of scale Apple will actually be able to offer the 2 at a …wait for it…LOWER PRICE !
And the Vibrator will be totally awesome, just think of all the endless possibilities for new apps (aka gaming etc)
